I make mug rugs about 8 by 11 inches - big enough for a cup of something and a snack, but smaller than a placemat. Everyone who gets one loves them and they use up scraps of fabric as well as batting. I also quilt the mug rug, experimenting with different designs on my Janome. I do the binding the way I do a quilt and am experimenting with finishing them by machine on the front with a decorative stitch. I made some for my hairdresser using novelty fabric I found. I also made some for my daughter and son-in-law who have a motorcycle and cats - the fabric had cats riding cycles and they loved them.

I didn't know what a 'mug rug' was 'til I came across this board (a number of years ago now). I agree a set up would explain as well as a flyer/note with the product. I love them (as does one of my DIL's).

Check out the mug rug listings under the round robin site in archives. I've been doing them since March. My version of a mug rug was the size of a coaster but this site recommends it holds a cup and small snack plate.

This thread is just for me! As I was clicking on the thread to read I spilled a full glass of tea on hubby's mug rug. I saw Patrick Lose do mug rugs on Love of Quilting show on PBS. So far I've made two but am hoping to churn out a couple for Christmas gifts. Cute mug rugs and I love the bird!!
